Thread: Longline Trolling?

crank baits or jigs

If you're talking about jigs, it's trial and error. Speed, length of line, # test of line, and jig weight are the variables.

Troll your jigs over clean flats and watch your rod tip to see when they start bumping bottom is the way most folks do it.

Thanks! I will try if on the jigs! If you have a chart for pulling cranks I would appreciate it!

Thanks

Here's the best I've seen : http://www.crappie.com/crappie/archi...h-chart-2.html (see the chart in Tapout's post) Now, it is a Bandit crankbait chart ... but, it should be close with similar sized cranks.

You can get that same exact information for hundreds of cranks in the Precision Trollers Bible it's a ring bound book with water and tear proof pages. It retails for $35-$50 depending where you buy it... worth the money if you plan to do a lot of crank trolling.
